The Citizen Patriot asked a panel of coaches in each sport to rank the top five teams in the area. Five points are awarded for a first-place vote, four points for a second-place vote, etc. The results will be compiled and published by the Citizen Patriot and on mlive.com/japreps every week.

Little has changed for much of the season in the Citizen Patriot baseball coaches’ poll, and that remains the case this week. The coaches’ panel has kept the top five teams the same for the second week in a row, though Jackson Northwest has moved up into a tie for the No. 5 ranking with Parma Western. With the Al Glick Classic this weekend and all six teams in the same tournament bracket, next week’s top five could have a much different look.
